Getaway

[Verse 1]

The shatter of the bottles

Would scare me something awful as a kid

My fear how it would harden

And find a home in places that I hid

[Verse 2]

I'd tear 'em down

And run away

But never found my getaway

[Verse 3]

Outside Tuscaloosa

The time you thought you turned it all around

Remember how you used to think

You could salvage anything you found

[Verse 4]

You knew it then

You know it now

The rattle of chains

Still rattles loud

[Verse 5]

In all those years of moving

I was slowly losing all my names

No matter what I'd ruin

It couldn't hold a candle to the pain

[Verse 6]

My tears are real

And all my own

Pouring down there all alone

[Verse 7]

The soft roll of the water

Reminds me of my father's parting words

Son, now don't you bother

Looking for your place out in the world

[Verse 8]

The tide will roll

Through the waves

Son, you'll find your getaway
